For @Michbek's Birthday

Michbek, you goddess of the old-time smut,

You Henry-Fielding loving, goofy gal,

Who can but love you, who indeed can but

Adore you and your work, my dear old pal

(I say that for your birthday; naught but tact

Comes from my pen, as oh so well you know!),

Companion through the long nights when I act

As a bitch-goddess puppet. How to show

My true esteem? Your husband's shown a way

So here I am, on his blog and on mine

To wish you hrair returns of this great day,

To wish you cheesecake, chocolate and wine,

And thank you for the entertainment. You

Are quite a wonder, dear girl, through and through!
